Will create works that contain:
Embroidery: patches of: character logos or other symbolism, designs using the character's color scheme, (short) quotes/character names/etc.; and mostly done in my more sketchy-like design style (rather than hyper-realistic)
Fic: Canon or canon-divergent, character study, parent/child or mentor/mentee relationship, friendships/sibling relationships, found family, established relationship, friends to lovers before they become lovers, slice of life, banter, soft moments/tenderness, angst with comfort, soft but sad moments, wound care/emotional support/being there in their darkest moments (just generally hurt/comfort), grief/mourning, major character death, trauma studies, horror/gore.
I love writing about trans themes (exploring gender, coming out, hurt/comfort related to trans themes, dealing with surgery/HRT, most things except for excessive transphobia), whether it's the central plot of the fic or just a component of it.
Will not create works that contain:
Embroidery: in-depth scenes or images of characters, or anything hyper-realistic
Fic: smut, AUs, extensive plot, getting together, pregnancy, infidelity, dark themes of: incest, rape/non-con/dub con, substance abuse, domestic abuse, animal harm, pregnancy, infidelity, ableism

Work Description:
OFFERING: Custom handmade embroidery work based on any of the above ships or characters -- I’ve listed what I'd be most excited to create for, but I'm pretty open to other characters/ships, so just ask! (Also totally down to do stuff for the X-Men team, instead of individual characters!)
Patches/small designs are roughly 3-4 in. diameter depending on the design, made in a 6.3 in. hoop. Large pieces are made in 10.7 in. hoop
IDEAS/EXAMPLES: See the examples of my work for an idea of the sort of large and small designs I've done. I don't do hyper-realistic designs, but instead really enjoy playing around with different ways to depict the image and use a more "sketch-like" style.
Ex. of patches: character/ship logo (i.e. Poolverine combined mask logo); symbols related to the character/ship (spider for Spider-Man - can be minimalist or more stylized); a small design in the character/ship colors (i.e. your favorite animal in Scott Summers colors); a short quote/name tag/other writing (i.e. "Merc with the Mouth" - font can be customized, to a point).
There are a lot of different things we could do with a large design (i.e. combining small designs; a more stylized, larger version of a small design; a long quote/larger text; a combo of any of the above). See the pieces still in hoops in my example post for an idea of how a larger design could look. Note that I don't do full depictions of characters or scenes. I can do a mask or a stylized depiction of a character's portrait but won't do anything full body.
TIERS:
$15 - one patch
$35 - two patches
$65 - three patches*
$100 - one large piece (can be kept on the hoop as a frame or sent without it)
$150 - one large piece + 1 patch
$200 - custom-designed button-down denim shirt/jacket** with either 2-3 designs/patches and 1-2 stylized areas (cuffs/collar/button seam/top of pocket) or 1 large back design and 1-2 stylized areas. Note: Winner will provide the clothing piece/item and must send it to me by December 31st, 2025; you must also confirm the item with me before sending it.
*At $65+ I'm open to discussing different combinations of the offerings, i.e. 1-2 larger patches instead of 3 regular patches, etc. Just reach out!
**I may also be able to do regular shirts, bags, table/altar cloths, etc., so reach out to me if you're interested in doing something other than a button-down and we can discuss options!
SHIPPING: I will cover cost of shipping up to $15, the rest of the cost will be paid by winner. I ship from the U.S. (For top tier item, I will only cover $15 for the return shipping of the finished piece.)
SHIPPING: I will cover cost of shipping up to $15, the rest of the cost will be paid by winner. I ship from the U.S. (For top tier item, I will only cover $15 for the return shipping of the finished piece.)
PODBIDS: I am allowing podbids, though since these are physical items, you would need to figure out how you'd like to split up the items and the cost of shipping. Note that I am only doing ONE custom piece of clothing, so unless you're doing a sisterhood of the traveling pants thing, that option would only make sense for one person.
MATERIALS: I live in a smoke-free home with cats. For patches I will provide the fabric; if you have a preference for the color/type of fabric we can discuss those options. For the highest tier, the designs will likely be sewn on as a patch, but depending on the item material, placement, and design, might be able to be sewn on directly. Stylized areas are sewn on directly.
Can pods bid on this auction? Yes - Podbids welcome!

Work Description:
This offering is for a one-shot with a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 3,000 words, so not really meant for plot-driven fics, but more exploration of a theme, a specific scene/montage of scenes, that kind of thing. The fic "Beauty at Dusk" on my AO3 is a good example of what I mean.
This offering is specifically for the characters listed, because I wanted an all-POC listing, but I am open to writing ships/gen pairings with any of these characters, just reach out and ask! I'm particularly excited about the idea of writing an Ellie Camacho-centric fic (with or without Wade Wilson in it), so if you're a fan of her I'd love to hear any ideas you have!
Also, I might not know in-depth canon info on some of these characters, so if you want me to explore a specific aspect of their past just point me in the direction of what comics to read/where to learn about it; I picked some of these characters specifically because I'm excited to get to know more about them!
Please reach out to me before bidding starts to discuss the prompts you have in mind, so we can make sure I'm a good fit! I'm definitely open to other themes/tropes beyond the ones I listed, too.

I'd love to do a lot of different X-Men characters as character-centric fics, including ones only listed as ships here, or as gen ships like Jubilee & Remy, Rogue & Kurt, Ororo & Jean, etc., or as a combination of various characters for a found family sort of thing!
